ATC Code

Active Substance
Tiapride (Rec.INN registered by WHO)
Clinical-Pharmacological Group
Antipsychotic drug (neuroleptic)
Pharmacotherapeutic Group
Psycholeptics; antipsychotics; benzamides
Pharmacological Action
Antipsychotic agent (neuroleptic) from the group of substituted benzamides. The antipsychotic action is due to the blockade of dopamine D2 receptors in the mesolimbic or mesocortical system.
It has an analgesic effect in interoceptive and exteroceptive pain. It has a sedative effect, due to the blockade of adrenoreceptors of the brainstem reticular formation; an antiemetic effect, associated with the blockade of dopamine D2 receptors of the trigger zone of the vomiting center; and a hypothermic effect, due to the blockade of dopamine receptors in the hypothalamus.
Pharmacokinetics
After oral administration, it is rapidly absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract. Cmax in blood plasma is reached after 1 hour. Plasma protein binding is low. It penetrates the blood-brain barrier. T1/2 is 3-4 hours. It is excreted by the kidneys predominantly unchanged.
In renal insufficiency, the elimination of tiapride from the body is slowed down.
Indications
Agitation, aggressiveness, especially in chronic alcoholism, in the elderly; therapy-resistant, severe pain syndrome; chorea, tics in Tourette’s disease, severe behavioral disorders accompanied by aggressiveness and agitation.

Dosage Regimen
| The method of application and dosage regimen for a specific drug depend on its form of release and other factors. The optimal dosage regimen is determined by the doctor. It is necessary to strictly adhere to the compliance of the dosage form of a specific drug with the indications for use and dosage regimen. |
Determine the dosage individually based on indication, patient age, and clinical status.
For agitation and aggressiveness in chronic alcoholism, administer 300 mg to 1200 mg per day in divided doses.
For agitation and behavioral disorders in the elderly, initiate therapy with a lower dose of 100 mg to 300 mg daily.
For severe, therapy-resistant pain, use a dosage of 300 mg to 600 mg daily.
For chorea and tics in Tourette’s disease, administer 300 mg to 600 mg per day.
Adjust the total daily dose based on therapeutic response and tolerability.
Divide the total daily dose into two or three administrations.
For renal impairment, reduce the dosage due to slowed elimination; monitor patients closely.
For elderly patients, initiate treatment at the lower end of the dosage range.
Do not exceed the maximum recommended daily dose without medical supervision.
Adverse Reactions
From the central nervous system: drowsiness, sleep disorders, agitation, apathy, dizziness, headaches, parkinsonian syndrome; rarely – spasmodic torticollis, oculogyric crises, akathisia, tardive dyskinesia; in some cases – neuroleptic malignant syndrome.
From the endocrine system: rarely – symptoms caused by hyperprolactinemia (amenorrhea, galactorrhea, breast enlargement, breast pain, impotence, orgasm disorders).
From the cardiovascular system: QT interval prolongation, orthostatic hypotension; in some cases – torsades de pointes arrhythmias.
Contraindications
Presence or suspicion of prolactin-dependent tumors, pheochromocytoma; hypersensitivity to tiapride.
Use in Pregnancy and Lactation
During pregnancy, Tiapride is used only for absolute indications in the minimum effective doses. Newborns whose mothers received Tiapride during pregnancy are recommended to be monitored for CNS and gastrointestinal functions.

Use in Renal Impairment
Use with caution in renal insufficiency.
Geriatric Use
Use with caution in elderly patients.
Special Precautions
Use with particular caution in patients with epilepsy due to a possible decrease in the seizure threshold.
Use with caution in severe cardiovascular diseases, parkinsonism, renal insufficiency, and also in elderly patients.
Parenteral administration should be carried out under medical supervision.
During treatment with tiapride, levodopa, dopamine receptor agonists (amantadine, apomorphine, bromocriptine, cabergoline, entacapone, lisuride, pergolide, piribedil, pramipexole, quinagolide), sultopride should not be used; medicinal products that can cause torsades de pointes arrhythmias (antiarrhythmic drugs of classes I A and III, chlorpromazine, levomepromazine, thioridazine, trifluoperazine, sultopride, droperidol, haloperidol, pimozide, bepridil, cisapride, difemanil, erythromycin for intravenous administration, vincamine for intravenous administration, as well as halofantrine, morfloxacin, pentamidine, sparfloxacin).

Influence on the ability to drive vehicles and operate machinery
Use with caution in patients whose activities require concentration and high speed of psychomotor reactions.
Drug Interactions
With simultaneous use of drugs that depress the central nervous system (including opioid analgesics, antihistamines, barbiturates, benzodiazepines), an enhancement of the depressant effect on the central nervous system is possible.
With simultaneous use of antihypertensive drugs, an enhancement of the hypotensive effect is possible.
